LOL, krystal your confusion is understandable! the modern interpretation links "fernweh" as similiar with wanderlust, but for me at least, the distinction is that "fernweh" refers to a place you've not been before, specifically. that's what i like about it -- how can you crave something you've never known? anyway, there's debate on some linguistic websites (oh god, i think i just totally outed myself as THE ubernerd), and there isn't any real consensus as to THE proper definition. which enhances the mystery....

i had no idea 'wanderlust' was a german word. but truth be told, i didn't think it was actually a proper english word either.

Boo! Just wanted to check in and say thanks for the comment on my last post, I've been away from blogging properly for a couple of months now and it's nice to know a few people are still hanging in there with some well thought/interesting comments.
